Do you want sympathy or do you want help? Is there virtue in joining with like-minded people also counting pedometer steps who support you in the direction you want to go?
Are you looking for…
A community such as the one provided by Pedals and Pedometer Steps is a real and separate option. For someone who has a life, wants more out of it and feels let down by previous attempts to gain control over their weight then embrace who you are, rather than be overwhelmed by the latest fad, miracle diet or boot camp.
The theme of this community based weight loss program relates more to attitude and doing than to following specific diets and exercise programs. Let a desire for an even more fulfilling life be your major motivation. Let this be your way of planning for retirement.
For all those people who want the results (balanced weight and renewed energy levels) and are prepared to think about it differently, then this blog is for you.
Before taking a step…
Pedometer Steps represents a way of controlling your activity levels, and decisions, by acknowledging that some of your attitude is not helping you get where you want to go.
It’s been a journey…no…more a process leading to an understanding, that a lot of my lifestyle decisions led to poor decisions in other areas I was really wanting to change.
A good decision in one area wasn’t leading to a good decision in other areas.
Alternatively, a meaningful decision in one area of my life had an effect on other seemingly unrelated areas. Change in one area affected other areas and complicated the decision.
“I finally got it…
weight loss methods have a pervasive influence on all your lifestyle choices. These range the full spectrum from good to bad.”
Ask yourself this:
The immediate question to be answered- do you have a vision of you and your life at your desired new weight which includes exercise and moderate eating? If not, you’re already looking at failure. If you see the methods you are using as short term intervals of healthy living, as I did, with a vague intention of keeping it up since you like the new you, then the loop of weight loss then gain is underway.
Find a way to generate interest and excitement about being a newer version of yourself. Talk and act like a new you. I’m finally getting what the self-help gurus say: be the change.
The reason why I’ve never got that in the past is that giving up an established belief about yourself , “I always …”, requires continual conscious thought. Who can focus only on this? To my mind a bigger change is necessary.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks as I reveal my new attitude and how it and pedometer steps has helped me make a great new life! Or let me know your thoughts on the comments form.
